From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Section 74(6) expressly requires the tribunal to take account the total amount of relevant payments paid and received in connection with occupation of the HMO during the period when an offence was being committed, whether the appropriate person has at any time been convicted of an offence under section 72(1), the conduct and financial circumstances of the appropriate person, and where the application is made by a tenant, the conduct of that tenant. … In that case the landlord was a professional engaged in the letting of residential property. … In that case the amount of the fine and the costs order was a modest £786. … Whilst critical of the approach taken by the tribunal at first instance the judge did not add any new criteria that a tribunal should take into account when exercising its discretion. He remarked that the purpose of the imposition of a rent repayment order is to prevent a landlord from profiting from renting properties illegally. He observed that regard should be had to the total amount the landlord would have to pay by way of the fine and the rent repayment order. This was another case where the fine was a modest £585 plus a victim surcharge of £15 plus costs of £200. …
